[BUG] Username is case-sensitive when logging into MC Administrator about connect HOT 6 OPEN

Note: I am NOT using LDAP, so I don't think the fix in #5396 would fix my problem.

Is that a behavior change from the last release?

Curious really. Sounds like a new feature, lol.

Email addresses before the domain name by RFC are actually case sensitive by RFC 5321. Folks don't enforce it though.

I don't know if it's a change from prior versions. I happened to create a mixed-case username on 4.1.1 and then couldn't get signed on because I didn't know it mattered.

The official and actual behavior of email addresses isn't relevant, is it?

from connect.

Not relevant, just a random fact.

I noticed this as well using 4.1.1 "ADMIN" vs "admin". Also tested on 3.10.1 and experienced the same thing.

Hah. Multiply-confirmed on 4.1.1.

I'm using my own hand-rolled LDAP authentication plug-in and while the login worked (it's using LDAP), I was immediately presented with the "new user" dialog asking me to set up a password and give all my contact information to NextGen.

+1 to making usernames case-insensitive.
